Course Overview

Automation in the Cloud can simplify processes, enable agility and scalability, and help you deploy faster. But how should you master these topics to enhance your career potential? The course kicks off by introducing automation in the cloud, comparing the differences between on-premises and cloud. We'll answer why automation is so powerful and you'll get hands-on by working with AWS CLI. Week 1 closes with automation with scripting by sharing examples of how automation helps and the benefits of using scripts. A focus on Automation isn't complete with an overview of Infrastructure as Code.
